Iowa, MSU and Wisky to start January for the boilerwankers.

 

 Seems very likely that they will go zero for three during that stretch.

WOW! Good for him!

#UVa freshman Kihei Clark will have surgery tomorrow to repair broken bone in left wrist. Makes performance today all the more remarkable. As Tony Bennett called it: “heart.”
I was just talking about him. Not sure how long he will be out but stinks for him. He was having a great season

I wish IU fans would quit trolling the Purdue fans. It’s funnier when they turn on each other

Gonzaga just eliminated itself from title consideration...

Eastern is just not too good. I don’t see that ending well. He was a top 100 recruit as well.

CE is legit. Those denying it, have the blinders on.

Always happy to see Purdue lose.

Agreed on Edwards, and anyone thinking he can't play in the NBA is crazy. Carson can play point. He will just have to learn to be more of a facilitator and create for others. He can do that

He does force some shots for PU, but he has to.

Trying to think of the best way to defend Purdue. Edwards is such a scorer it’s risky to let him get his and shut everybody else down. I imagine we just rotate fresh defenders on him all night. And try and slow him down

Double him whenever the opportunity is there to get the ball out of his hands. Hedge towards Cline and protect the basket.

KenPom Top-50 wins by conference:

Big Ten: 27
ACC: 12
Big East: 9
SEC: 9
Big 12: 8
PAC 12: 3

If you take out the conference games that the B1G have played the number is still 18 wins which is 6 more the ACC

Probably lol. We need more coaches to speak up like this.

Any Purdue fan not terrified for next year isn’t paying attention. 

I was going to type the same thing until I saw your post. My goodness...I know we all hate on Carsen but he is the most valuable player in the Big Ten. They may be worse than Illinois without him. They better hope Haarms, Hunter, Gillis, Newman, and Thompson are the real thing...

Carsen is legit. Don't see the hate on him. He has to shoot that much because they have nothing around him...hence more turnovers. Eastern is a bust so far. I think Haarms is nothing more than a role player. Future not looking good in West Lafayette. Painter couldn't get past the Sweet 16 with that "great" senior class and Swanigan the last few years. If they miss the NCAA's this year he could be on the hot seat going into next season. Archie stealing the in-state kids is hurting him. Hunter, Gillis, and Thompson are probably role players at IU (like Damezi or Jake). PU is expecting them to get major minutes from day 1. I think stealing Rob from them was huge and isn't talked about enough. He is left with the scraps except for Newman. I think he could be really good.

Doubtful. He just signed a two year extension and his contract will automatically add another year after each season. Unless they're an NIT team three straight years or he breaks rules, he'll coach there as long as he wants...and that's perfectly fine with me.

Gonzaga will be a 1 seed and somehow play the Portland Trailblazers.

In other northwest news, one of our cupcakes(Montana St) upset Washington St, not bad.

I can see it now.  The NCAA is making a list and checking it twice to see who from Gonzaga has been buying bumper stickers at a discount price.

I think he can play in the league in the right situation but I don't believe that just learning to be a facilitator is something that will come easily at all though. He's never been that player. Edwards is a hell of a player but he's a SG in the body of an undersized PG with a 1:1 ast/to ratio this season.

What time do polls typically come out?
